RECORDS REVIEW / RECOMMENDATION: Local Natives - Gorilla Manor (2009)


Mother, what great album! I could not stop repeating it after listening for the first time, and now that I have several / many listeners perception that has only corroborated. Eager for new sensations, I dropped by Pitchfork , that dreaded American site which is only appropriate as gafapasta , rare and most indie indie into the World despite the redundancy. Diving between reviews rare highlight this disc. And I thought, why not let me prejudice and taste? Blessed success, because this is one of those albums that get you back the faith in music when you're tired of hearing about the same thing and have already lost almost all hope to hear something new that surprises you. In short, the best I've ever heard in a long long time.

What Local Natives they sound? Afroindie callers. It is definitely indie pop / rock with a touch of ethnic, tribal, African percussion, all accompanied by folk, psychedelia, string arrangements, a wonderful voice and a dreamy chorus. If you look like say that to me look like Grizzly Bear sobrevaloradísimos or infumables Vampire Weekend, but reading these comparisons is a lack of respect for these guys. Because the great album debut that have been marked is downright impressive, and also has the virtue that goes very well from the first listen and then does not decay with successive. I'm not going to cheat, they are rare, but have managed to create a wonderful style where sensitivity, optimism, light, powerful and excellent percussion, epic pace, minimalism, mysticism and production elaboradísima merge into a unique product where nothing is superfluous and strange as it seems to have foot and head. Fusion is the word that best define this wonderful disc.

The beginning of the album is so spectacular and in the top 5 songs gives you the feeling that every subject that is surpassing the previous listen. The pity is that by the end of the album falls a little, but after all nothing serious and totally understandable. Let your subjects:
1. Eyes Wide : excellent start of the disk with a big final crescendo.
2. Airplanes : really beautiful, with excellent vocals. It is the single disc presentation.
3. Sun Hands : addictive percussion and bossa nova with touches of fresh tune.
4. World News : most folk on the disc, by the way reminds me of the brilliant and rare Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
5. Shape Shifter : another great crescendo, beautiful home on the piano and excellent voice. When it bursts, is an epic, dramatic light and grandeur. My favorite album.
6. Camera Talk : strange wonderful fusion of reggae in the style of Bob Marley and the Arcade Fire indie folk.
7. Cards & Quarters : calm air track with R & B and hip-hop.
8. Warning Sign : curious cover of the issue of Talking Heads.
9. Who Knows Who Cares : fusion of pop and soul.
10. Cubism Dream, also fusion of pop and soul, in this case also touches bossanova.
11. Stranger Things : Subject quiet, with excellent guitar and string arrangements.
12. Sticky Thread : perhaps the weakest track on the disc, begins well but eventually gradually diluted.

FINAL NOTE: 9'25.
